Former Denver Post Broncos reporter Adam Schefter is going long. He gets married on Sunday in New York.

Now with the NFL Network, Schefter met Sharri Maio on a blind date last summer. And they’ve been making big plays ever since.

Schefter was back in Denver last weekend for the Aiello-DeHaven nups at Elway’s. He was looking good and acting excited. “I’ve annoyed so many people over the years with my dating travails,” he says. “But everyone I’ve talked to seems genuinely moved by the whole thing.”

Maio lost her husband on September 11, 2001, and has a seven-year-old son, Devon Maio.

Schefter is going from living the bachelor life in New York City to living on Long Island with a wife and a kid and three dogs and a picket fence.

“There’s always 8,062 things going on out here,” he says. “But I’m incredibly blessed to have her and Devon in my life. I’ve never felt such inner personal peace.”

They’ll honeymoon in Vermont and Nantucket. Then it’s back to the gridiron.
